BOLTON WIN AGAIN

Fri Nov 07, 2014 11:19 pm

Bolton moved out of the Championship relegation zone by securing a comfortable win against Wigan at the Macron Stadium.
The Latics had the better of the first half as Callum McManaman twice hit the woodwork for the away side.
However, Bolton went ahead after the break as Max Clayton slid in the opener before Craig Davies headed home.
Lee Chung-yong then converted a penalty for Bolton, before McManaman volleyed in a consolation for Wigan.
Neil Lennon's side move up to 18th with 17 points while Wigan, who have won just once since August, drop to 21st and out of the relegation zone only on goal difference.
It will be an especially disappointing defeat for Uwe Rosler after his side had the better chances in the first 45 minutes.
They could have been 2-0 up inside the first 10 minutes as Shaun Maloney volleyed wide from a good position, before McManaman smacked a dipping effort against the crossbar.
Bolton saw plenty of the ball but struggled to make it count, but when Clayton did manage to get through, Wigan keeper Scott Carson was on hand to deny the striker.
The woodwork again came to the home side's rescue just before the break when McManaman struck the post.
However, five minutes into the second half, Bolton took the lead when Lee fed the ball through to Clayton, who coolly slotted the ball through Carson's legs.
Wigan then capitulated as they conceded twice in six minutes, Davies powering home a header before Lee scored from the spot after Matt Mills was fouled.
McManaman got the goal his efforts deserved with a volley, but Bolton closed out the game to record their fifth win of the season.

Mason, I spoke to Bolton fans this morning, they say it was their best performance of the season so far and that beating us has given them confidence .

I photographed the game.

Bolton played very well. Liam Feeney had another good game and they matched Wigan in a very dull first half. Second half Wigan were awful. Gave one goal away and then their heads dropped and gave a second away.

Neil Lennon has totally turned them around.

Wigan - well many of their supporters want Uwe Roslers head.

Totally agree Neil Lennon has turned Bolton's season around. Uwe Rosler is a very good manager he's proved that over the last few years and is currently going through a bad run of games. COME ON BLUEBIRDS TODAY :bluescarf: :ayatollah: :bluescarf:
